Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 25159a
"لا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِصَيامِ يَوْمٍ وَلا يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَئ يَصُومُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ، لاَ تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ {ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَروْهُ}، فَإِن حَالَ دُونَهُ غَمَامَةٌ فَأتِمُّوا العِدَّةَ ثَلاثِينَ ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا، وَالشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ".

"Do not precede the month with the fast of a day or two days, unless it is a fast that one of you is accustomed to. Do not fast until you see it, then fast until you see it {then fast until you see it}. If a cloud comes between you and it, then complete the count of thirty, then break your fast. The month is twenty-nine days."
